![]() ![]() This allowed us to “educate” the engine with specific parameters that pertain to that vehicle and plate type. Our plate recognition engine matched the regex to each plate type and image. The images contained mopeds, motorcycles, aged vehicles, new sedans, station wagons, minivans, light-weight trucks, semi-trailer trucks, flatbed trucks, buses and more. Thanks to our partners in India, we received and manually processed thousands upon thousands of images of real-life India license plates and fed that into our ANPR engine. Get Sample Images of India License Plates.We also analyzed and defined the font type and font size of each license plate type. For each license plate variation, we created the plate’s regex (tech term for regular expression). We learned that the plates were as diverse as the people groups, languages and cultures within the country! We began our journey by spending a lot of time assessing all the license plate variations across the different regions of India. ![]() Here is our 5 step process to improve India ANPR: Little did we know, though, about the all challenges as mentioned above for the India license plate recognition market. After building our “global” ANPR solution, we focused our efforts on improving plate recognition in India, since we received quite a lot of interest from developers in that country. We at Plate Recognizer appreciate the importance of ANPR in India. Plate Recognizer Improvements for India ANPR This is a completely different story for our Germany ANPR and UK ANPR software. ![]() This situation is made worse during nighttime and inclement weather when visibility is lower.Īs such, ANPR for India is particularly difficult and accuracy rates seldom exceed 70% from our internal analysis of our and competitive ANPR providers. These three factors increase the number of blind spots and occurrence of blurry images. The low-cost cameras have limited visual coverage, are equipped with less acute motion and object detection sensors, and contain limited night vision capabilities. Moreover, cameras deployed in India tend to be of lower quality, thereby compounding the ability for ANPR engines to accurately decode the license plate. For example, certain regions of India would have certain plate formats and certain generations of vehicles have their unique peculiarities. The plates vary in style, color, fonts, sizes and even location in the vehicle. In India, there are 210 million vehicles with over 50 different license plate types. The variations of Indian license plates makes it difficult for an ANPR system to accurately identify and decode the license plate. However, the solution may not be as clear.ĪNPR in countries such as Vietnam, Australia and Italy, which have fairly standardized license plates, have accuracy levels often exceeding 90%. This can help bring justice swiftly to such a vast nation. This number can lessen if proper steps are taken and ANPR system is used to track cars so that if vehicles are stolen, law enforcement will be able to identify when, where and the route taken by a stolen vehicle. In India 200,000 cars are stolen per year. ANPR can support a cloud-based system pre-book and pre-pay platform for parking. Number plates of the car can be directly linked with owner mobile phone and parking tickets could be paid without any extra effort directly from the user’s account against the ticket number generated. Vehicles with registered plates can automatically enter into parking areas while non-registered vehicles will be charged by time of check in and check out. This helps to maintain law and order which, in turn, can minimize the number of road casualties.ĪNPR provides the best solution for providing parking management. In this case, a fine ticket can be automatically generated by calculating the distance between two cameras. ANPR is used to monitor the vehicles’ average speed and can identify the vehicles that exceed the speed limit. In India there is one death in every four minutes with most of them occurring due to over speeding. The main use of ANPR is in highway monitoring, parking management, and neighborhood law enforcement security. Unlike other countries, India, with its one billion people population, has a unique set of needs for ANPR. ![]()
